jeff74 Posted August 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hello, Does anyone know what table games are in the Volendam's casino? I was hoping there is a craps table there like on the other larger ships and a $25 min blackjack table that paid 3:2 instead of the other lower min ones that only paid out 6:5. Thanks!

dockman Posted August 15, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Never play at 6/5 blackjack unless you enjoy losing more $$. A casino "scam" that increases their edge considerably but most don't even seem to notice. If people refused to play 6/5 tables they would disappear. There are a lot of factors that determine the final expected return, but in general, the house increases their edge by roughly 400% when dealing the 6:5 variant. In the 3:2 blackjack game, the house edge, for player playing perfect basic strategy, is in the ~0.5% range. That means for every $100 wagered, they take in, on average, $0.50. With 6:5 blackjack, that edge shoots up to almost 2%! So now you can expect to contribute upwards of $2 per $100 wagered to the house coffers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with you which is what prompted my question on the availability of 3:2 tables. Sometimes it's difficult to find an empty seat at one though like in a nicer casino on the strip on the weekend unless you're willing to sit at a $50-100 min table (which I'm not).
